What’s the Point of Ball-Point Pens?

As the left shrieks for stricter gun control, Colorado’s Democrat-controlled House passed a statewide ban on concealed-carry weapons on college campuses along with several other radical gun-control measures. They also managed to disparage conceal-carry supporters and female students who prefer not to depend on the government for protection.

Colorado Senator Jessie Ulibarri went so far as to suggest that instead of carrying a gun for protection, innocent victims would be better off blowing a whistle or using a ballpoint pen to stab the assailant when he stops to reload.[1]

Many of the uninformed live in the illusion that police exist to protect them from all possible criminal action, and this notion could not be further from the truth. Police can only take action after or during a crime. They cannot incarcerate a person simply because he or she might commit a crime. Furthermore, there simply are not enough police in existence to watch over and protect everyone all of the time. It is an individual’s right to provide reasonable protection for themselves and their loved ones.
